Totally absurd for the British airline, BMI, to impose such a thing upon their flight attendants. These dhimmified nitwits are caving into the politically correct notion that it’s better to adhere to an Islamic draconian dress wear, than to offend hyper-sensitive Muslims. This nonsense must be fought tooth and nail.Â KGS

BRITISH air stewardess was sacked for refusing to fly to Saudi Arabia after she was ordered to wear a traditional Islamic robe and walk behind male colleagues.

Lisa Ashton, a Â£15,000-a-year stewardess with BMI, was told that in public areas in Saudi Arabia she was required to wear a black robe, known as an abaya. This covers everything but the face, feet and hands. She was told to follow her male colleagues, irrespective of rank.

Ashton, 37, who was worried about security in the country, refused to fly there, claiming the instructions were discriminatory. She was sacked last April.

“It’s not the law that you have to walk behind men in Saudi Arabia, or that you have to wear an abaya, and I’m not going to be treated as a second-class citizen,” Ashton said last week.

All the so called “rights” groups in Britain, such as the women’s rights or gay rights are all affiliated heavily with the politics of the left, and as such, they will only ever chase a cause if it doesn’t damage their dream of a multicult utopia.

I think the hierarchy goes a little something like this:

Illegal invaders>Legal immigrants>Gays>Women>Animals>with white working class males being right there at the bottom of the heap!

So as long as a cause doesn’t interfere with that which is above you, you’re alright. That’s why you will NEVER see a gay rights group pushing to enforce their views onto a muslim school, but it’s fine and dandy, and actually encouraged to push their views into a majority white school! Same with animal campaigners, not a single word about the brutality in which halal slaughter is done… I think you get my point!

Davey, you are right. Currently the left is only concerned with things if it doesn’t mean they have to do too much and YOU can do it for them after they whine and wail about it. For them, it is easy to tell women to cowtow to muzzie demands because they are fearful of the muzzies and don’t want to disturb them and make them behave themselves and not shove their religion down everyone’s throats.

I dont understand why an English airline should be so draconian when Emirates Air are so modern and they are the muslim airline. Maybe she could have put on a cute headscarf like the Emirates hosties and still wear her usual uniform. We are only talking about while on the plane right. I’ve heard that Saudi women head straight to the plane toilets on most flights out of Saudi Arabia and change from their all black covered up clothes into their more comfortable, fashionable non islamic clothes and do the reverse on the way back.

I am a Sunni Muslim and I believe that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the prophet of Allah, but I would still like to ask, what the hell does, “she has to walk behind her male colleagues”,mean? What the hell does this nonsense mean? Why would any religion ask a woman to walk behind her male colleague? Do you British people think that when you insult such a poor lady, we’ll respect you? Actually we won’t, we’ll look upon you as people who don’t have principles. She should sue you because what you’ve done is disgraceful!

Oh you stupid stupid ignorant people how pathetic can you possible get
stupid woman earning 15 000 a year what was she cleaning the toilets?
Not even groceries cost that little in this day and age.
And stupid white people get it through your thick white skulls when you go to a Muslim country dress like a Muslim or be prepared for the insults and humiliation, all you fucking attention seekers like this low class woman earning 15k a year hahahaha go to hell yeah!! And stay in your own countries and get better jobs and feed your kids proper food!!
